From the Paper:

"Heated arguments went on and the concerned professor went to the dean to find out what action he should take. This led to a discussion among the faculty as the dean himself was not sure. Among the faculty there were many justifications given for lying, and business was compared to poker and people knew that there would be bluffing. Some others felt that there were no absolute values and morality depends on the consequences that follow from the action. According to this logic the executive should have lied. The other action may cause harm to the airline as it may collapse, and then there would be an effect on shareholders, employees and creditors, etc. Others said that telling of truth will lead to an increase in sales later while telling lies will lose sales, and that is the reason that telling truth was a good idea. Among the lot, only two members said that telling truth was essential as it was an absolute moral requirement and that is the reason why the executive had no other option. (When It Comes to Ethics, B-Schools Get an F) This total loss of moral senses is bound to have an impact on criminal justice within the country."
